# Problem Statement- 1:

UAVs for Disaster Identification and alerting System

Develop a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) system for efficient disaster
identification and alerting. This system should employ UAVs equipped with
sensors and cameras to swiftly assess disaster-stricken areas, detecting hazards
such as fires, floods, or collapsed structures. Upon identification, the UAVs
should relay real-time data to a central command centre, triggering immediate
alerts to relevant authorities and emergency response teams. The system
should aim to expedite disaster response efforts, enabling rapid deployment of
resources to affected areas, thereby minimizing casualties and property
damage
# Problem Statement- 2:

IoT Based Smart Waste Management System for Smart City

Develop an IoT-based Smart Waste Management System tailored for
urban areas grappling with overflowing bins and unsanitary
conditions. Equipping bins with sensors to detect fill levels, the
system should ensure timely waste collection by alerting authorities
when bins reach capacity. This proactive approach not only
promotes cleanliness but also curtails the spread of diseases,
fostering healthier urban environments. Through real-time
monitoring and data analysis, the system should optimize waste
collection routes, reducing operational costs and environmental
impact
# Problem Statement- 3:

Develop a smart, portable water cleaner filter circuit for improving

drainage water system
Design a smart and portable water filtration circuit to enhance drainage water
systems. The system should integrate advanced filtration technology to purify
wastewater, remove contaminants and pollutants. The portable design should
ensure versatility and ease of deployment in various water systems,
facilitating improved water quality management. The filtration circuit should
continuously evaluate water quality parameters, allowing for real-time
adjustments and optimization of filtration processes by equipping with smart
sensors and monitoring capabilities
# Problem Statement- 4:

Generalized Epileptic Seizure Alert System

Develop a Generalized Epileptic Seizure Alert System designed to detect and

alert caregivers or medical professionals about epileptic seizures
in individuals. This system should utilize wearable devices equipped with
sensors to monitor physiological indicators such as heart rate,
movement patterns, and electrical activity in the brain. Upon detecting seizure-
like activity, the system should trigger immediate alerts via smartphone
notifications or dedicated monitoring platforms. Additionally, the system may
incorporate machine learning algorithms to improve seizure detection accuracy
over time
# Problem Statement- 5:

Innovative pesticide spraying machine for farmers

Develop a pesticide spraying machine tailored for farmers to enhance crop
protection and efficiency. The system should employ cutting-edge technology,
including drones or automated machinery equipped with precision spraying
mechanisms and sensors. The machine should utilize real-time data analysis to
determine optimal pesticide dosage and application, reducing wastage
and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, the system may
incorporate features such as GPS navigation and obstacle avoidance to
ensure accurate and safe operation in varying field conditions
# Problem Statement- 6:

Development of automatic Energy Saving and management System

for Indian street lights
Develop an automated street light monitoring system to tackle the challenges
faced in maintaining street lights across Indian cities. This system should aim
to address the inefficiencies caused by the absence of a centralized monitoring
mechanism. By leveraging advanced technology, including sensors and data
analytics, the system should autonomously detect faults such as non-
functioning lights, current leakage, and cable breakage. By eliminating the
reliance on citizen grievances for fault identification, the system should reduce
delays, costs, and safety risks associated with maintenance
# Problem Statement- 7:

Design a scalable, cost-effective system to harness gym

workout kinetic energy for sustainable power generation.
Develop a non-intrusive system to harness kinetic energy from gym workouts
for power generation. The system should capture mechanical energy generated
by exercise machines and convert it into electrical energy efficiently. The
design should be scalable, cost-effective, and seamlessly integrate with
existing gym equipment to encourage widespread adoption. By tapping into
this untapped energy source, the system not only contributes to sustainable
energy initiatives but also revolutionizes the fitness industry. Encouraging
environmentally conscious practices, it aligns with the growing demand for
eco-friendly solutions
# Problem Statement- 8:

Develop a system to protect farmers/labourers from sunstroke and

maintain their health during outdoor work
Create a comprehensive system to safeguard farmers/labourers from sunstroke
and maintain their well-being during outdoor agricultural activities.The system
should incorporate wearable devices equipped with sensors to monitor vital
signs and environmental conditions. When excessive heat or sun exposure is
detected, the system should alert farmers to take necessary precautions, such
as seeking shade or rehydrating. By prioritizing farmers/labourers safety and
health, the system should aim to enhance productivity and reduce the incidence
of sunstroke, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices while safeguarding the
livelihoods of farmers
# Problem Statement- 9:

Develop a solution to predict conveyor belt faults and prevent

unplanned stoppages in industries
Develop a predictive maintenance solution for conveyor belts in
industries to prevent unplanned stoppages and optimize operations.
The system should utilize sensors to monitor the condition of
both the steel rope and belt. By analysing data on elongation of the
steel rope and wear of the belt, potential faults should be identified
in advance. Machine learning algorithms can be used to predict
the likelihood of rope breakage or belt failure, allowing for timely
maintenance interventions. By implementing proactive
maintenance measures, such as replacing worn-out components or
adjusting tension levels, downtime due to conveyor failures can be
minimized
# Problem Statement- 10:

Develop cost-effective systems to enhance efficiency of agro-

machineries for assessing, grading, and processing agri-
production
Design an affordable and efficient system to enhance the
performance of agricultural machinery in three key areas:
assessing, grading, and processing agricultural production. The
challenge is to create innovative solutions that improve the accuracy
and speed of these processes while keeping costs low. By addressing
this challenge, it will streamline the agricultural operations,
increasing productivity, and reducing waste. The goal is to empower
farmers and stakeholders with tools that enable informed decision-
making, ultimately revolutionizing the efficiency and sustainability
of food production
